Monday, December 4th
12:47 p.m.: That was the last question, so the press conference is over.
12.45 p.m.: “Physics was already an issue against Hoffenheim. Wolfsburg has a similar player in Jonas Wind, who is good with his back to the goal. We have to be particularly careful when crossing, have good positional play and be good with the man so as not to create any danger here,” said Seoane about Wolfsburg’s physical qualities.
12:43 p.m.: Seoane about Fabio Chiarodia: “It took him two to three months to get here and fight for a place in the team. He has made progress with and against the ball and is a very talented player. He had good actions against Hoffenheim when it came to breaking up the game, but there is certainly room for improvement in the box in duels against experienced strikers. Fabio is developing well. If he played, I would have a good feeling. We are absolutely convinced of his qualities.”
12:41 p.m.: In the league game, Seoane saw a certain efficiency that was important for the win. They didn’t defend consistently at the beginning of the second half. Danger could always be ignited through individual actions and switching moments. A better balance should be found.
12:39 p.m.: Seoane on the possibility of taking something tinny with us in the cup: “We want to develop step by step and stay on our path. We know what kind of task we have here and what difficulties await us. The focus is on tomorrow. Of course we want to progress one round in front of our own audience.”
12:37 p.m.: “It’s a good feeling when you recently played against an opponent and got a positive result. At the same time, this is also a point that we point out, because one game has nothing to do with the other game. It’s starting from scratch, we have a new challenge. We will be extremely challenged again tomorrow,” said Seoane about the upcoming cup opponents, against whom Borussia won 4-0 in the league a few weeks ago.
12.35 p.m.: Marvin Friedrich’s rhythm was missing recently. During the game against Hoffenheim there wasn’t always the desired compactness. These points should be improved for the cup game. The coach was satisfied with the will and energy, but he sees room for improvement in the tactical area.
12:33 p.m.: “I think Chris Kramer always had good part-time appearances, especially in the last game where his experience came into play. He missed parts of the preparation that now needs to be made up for. However, he got into the rhythm through training. He is an option for the coming games,” says Seoane about Christoph Kramer and a possible chance of playing.
12:31 p.m.: The first question concerns the recently tense personnel situation from the Hoffenheim game. Who will be fit tomorrow? Seoane said: “No player was injured on Saturday. There is hope for Julian Weigl, Maximilian Wöber and Tomas Cvancara that they will be fit for tomorrow. But we have to wait for the final training. It may well be that the decision will not be made until tomorrow.”
12.30 p.m.: Coach Gerardo Seoane has arrived. The press conference begins.
11.55 a.m.: It starts in just under half an hour! What is the personnel situation like? Seoane will provide information on this from 12.30 p.m., at this point you will find the live ticker as usual.
9.45 a.m.: The press conference begins this Monday at a slightly earlier time of 12.30 p.m. As usual, the most important statements can be found in the GladbachLIVE ticker.
9:43 a.m.: The focus will once again be on the personnel situation: after three short-term absences before the game on Saturday and the substitution of Nico Elvedi, there are some question marks.
9.40 a.m.: Only 43 hours after the final whistle against Hoffenheim, things are already moving on. Gerardo Seoane will answer questions from journalists on Monday (December 4, 2023).
